Do you talk to things?

PardonTheWait · 12 Oct 2009 at 17:06

I talk to stuff. A lot, I've noticed.

There's crap all over my desk and a watch was in the way of my drink. I kept nudging it on to the stand of my iMac, and it kept falling off, so then I did it really... purposefully, and said 'GO UP THERE!' in a stern, you're-in-trouble-with-Mum way...

That's strange, isn't it? It did work though.

This is the bit where you tell me it's not just me

I tell inanimate objects to **** off quite a bit, while forcefully moving them. I figure this is allowed.

All the time,

It's not strange, IT'S ******* WEIRD!!!

I tend to talk to myself more, usually asking myself what I'm doing!

My wife's gran sings to everything.

It's only fun when they talk back.

I talk to myself a lot, and laugh at myself for talking to myself, then sometimes talk to objects. I think it means you're not crazy, personally. Tom Hanks did it in castaway so it must be fine.

WIIIIILLLLLSOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNN

Do you mean along the lines of, "If you move or utter a sound then you're getting the Chloroform again and the child dies"?

Can't say I talk to objects, but I do find that I'll run through conversations or thoughts in my head and then realise that I'm moving my lips...not good

All the time! To the door when i spaz out and forget how to use it (insert the family guy bit with peter forgetting how to sit down), phoney mc ringring (my mobile phone), foob, cooking stuff, the shower... The list goes on.

Tends to be more when im bored/easily distracted though

You actually made me lol, bravo.

I do it all the time. I talk to myself too, and answer myself which is a bit worrying. I guess I get a better answer that way!

Greenlizard0 · 12 Oct 2009 at 17:35

I'm always muttering to myself stupid lamp why on earth do you have really hard to find bulbs ffs..

knip · 12 Oct 2009 at 17:37

I talk to the dog and my rabbit, oh and my car, does that count?

And I shout at my laptop quite a lot!

p4radox · 12 Oct 2009 at 17:40

I talk to maths quite a lot. Eg: "Why aren't you equal to the ****ing correct answer?"

EdGey · 12 Oct 2009 at 17:40

+1

And also occasionally laugh out loud about something and get weird looks from the missus.

if i get annoyed at trying to cram things in somewhere (i.e. graphics card in a fairly busy case) then i'll scream at it and tell it to get the **** in there!

more ragey frustration than anything i think

I talk to bees, spiders and insects as I photograph them.
